"Ugh~"
"H-Hoo!"
The two had been running for a long time, sweating a lot, and were seriously dehydrated. Their throats were dry and hot, and every breath felt as painful as holding a razor blade, making them feel nauseous and retching.
The two of them moved very quickly but were very careful not to make any sound. Even when they were retching, they covered their mouths for fear of attracting the monster.
There were a lot of cosmetics, and the two of them searched everywhere but couldn't find the perfume for a while.
The harder they tried to find it, the more anxious they became, because they were sweating and their body odor became stronger.
The zombies and clawed demons have a very sensitive sense of smell, and it is difficult to stay alive safely if you don't cover up your own smell.
"Brother, here!" Liu Jia said in a low voice with surprise, pointing at the pile of perfume in front of her.
In the doomsday, cosmetics are one of the easiest supplies to find. After all, people can't even get enough food to eat, let alone have the energy to put on makeup.
What's more, putting on makeup and dressing yourself up beautifully in such an environment is undoubtedly seeking death. Do you think you have suffered enough?
"Great, sprinkle it at the door, and then sprinkle the perfume all over your body."
Liu Lei whispered happily and ran over quickly.
After grabbing a bottle of perfume, Liu Lei unscrewed the cap and poured it on himself. Then he picked up another bottle, opened the cap and poured it directly on his head. Finally, he made his whole body smell fragrant.
When he had done this, he began to sprinkle perfume around the shop entrance.
Liu Jia imitated her brother's actions and also made herself smell so strong that it made people dizzy.
"Brother, can I drink the perfume? I'm so thirsty."
Liu Jia held a bottle of perfume tightly and smacked her lips. At this moment, she felt her mouth and throat were sticky. When she saw this liquid, she couldn't help but want to try drinking it.
"No, that's not water. What if we get poisoned if we drink it? Let's hide and rest for a while. After the monsters leave, we can go out and look for water." Liu Lei pulled his sister and they squatted down and hid behind the counter, not daring to make any sound.
In fact, Liu Lei himself was also very thirsty, but now resources are scarce, the weather is hot and it has not rained for a long time. For people like them who are at the bottom of the food chain, it is difficult to find enough supplies. They can only live a hungry or semi-starved life and survive in the world.
At the end of the pedestrian street, two humanoid monsters appeared there, one hand was a normal human arm, and the other hand was a sharp claw.
If Chen Bufan saw it, he would be able to tell at a glance that these were the monsters they had fought more than a month ago. Now they appeared here again, and here, the survivors named them Claw Demons.
These clawed demons suddenly appeared half a month ago and often catch people, but they don't eat them, they just take them away.
As for where he was caught, no one knew.
They are extremely powerful and ordinary people are no match for them. Only a few evolvers in the base can fight them on equal terms. It is because of these people that these monsters dare not enter the base and the base is safe and sound.
Someone had seen survivors armed with pistols trying to attack them with their pistols, but it was useless, they couldn't hit them at all, and even if they did, the pistols couldn't break their defenses.
At this time, two claw demons stood at the end of the street, constantly twitching their nostrils, as if they were sniffing something.
They have smelled the strong human scent in the air and tracked it all the way here.
However, when they got here, the smell suddenly became very small and no longer clear.
But they are not ordinary zombies, they possess a certain intelligence and will not be easily fooled.
They realize that they may have been misled by something, and they won't give up easily, little trick.
The two clawed demons sniffed the air and observed their surroundings. In this environment that had not been moved for a long time, it was easy to find clues.
Soon, they saw a row of hurried footprints on the ground. There was dust everywhere, and the footprints were clearly imprinted on it.
A claw demon was lying on the ground, its nose close to the footprints and sniffed hard, then it sniffed a few footprints forward. After confirming that it was the person they were tracking, it instantly rushed forward. Seeing this, the other one did not hesitate and quickly followed.
In the quiet cosmetics store, Liu Lei and Liu Jia hid behind the counter, not daring to make a sound.
Liu Lei tightly grasped the U-shaped lock in his hand, which he found under the counter. At this moment, due to excessive tension, his fingers had turned pale. Only with a weapon in his hand could he feel safe and protect his sister.
After a period of rest, their bodies recovered to a certain extent, but their legs were still trembling slightly and their throats felt dry. If they were discovered by the monster at this time, they would definitely die.
"elder brother......"
Liu Jia opened her mouth cautiously, but Liu Lei immediately covered her mouth with his hand, leaving only a pair of panicked eyes on her little face.
Liu Lei's face was full of nervousness, his heart was beating violently, and he tilted his head to listen carefully to the movement outside.
In this apocalyptic environment, there are no noisy crowds, no roar of car engines, and even the sounds of animals, birds in the sky, and insects have disappeared.
The whole world was immersed in silence, making the footsteps of the two monsters running outside seem particularly harsh.
Here they come! The perfume didn't work!
Liu Lei looked at his sister in despair, whose face was filled with fear after obviously hearing the footsteps. Reluctance flashed in his eyes. He couldn't live with his sister any longer. He had to break his promise to their mother. Mother, Liu Lei couldn't do it!
Looking around, he saw a large cardboard box under the shelf. Liu Lei did not hesitate any longer and quickly stood up to cover his sister's body with the box.
"Brother...what are you doing?! Don't leave me!"
When Liu Jia saw her brother's actions, she knew what he wanted to do. She couldn't let him do that because her brother was her only relative.
"Sister, you stay here obediently. I'll go and lure the monster away. I'll come back to find you. I promised mother that I would protect you, and I must do it!"
Liu Lei held down his struggling sister under the box, preventing her from moving. "Sister, I beg you, don't let your brother waste his efforts. Be obedient!"
“Wuwuwu…Brother…”
"younger sister……"
Feeling that the box was no longer moving and hearing soft sobbing from below, Liu Lei could not hold back the sadness in his heart and tears instantly flowed down. After this separation, the two siblings might never see each other again. I will still be your brother in the next life and continue to protect you.
